No bake peanut butter protein bars [Recipe]

Vegetarian | Cook Time: 1.5 Hours

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder.
• Add the peanut butter and honey to the bowl and mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
• Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to form an even layer.

• Once set, remove the mixture from the dish and cut it into desired bar shapes.
• Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one.
